10 RIoTboards to give away for your connected applications

This month, Freescale is giving away ten RIoTboards, worth 74 dollars each, for Elektor readers to win. Designed to run Android operating systems efficiently or to run under Linux, the board is based on the Freescale i.MX 6Solo processor; using the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture.

Designed to run Android operating systems efficiently or to run under Linux, the board is based on the Freescale i.MX 6Solo processor; using the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture.

The RIoTboard platform also includes a rich set of peripherals including a 10M/100M/Gb Ethernet port, 1 USB 2.0 OTG High Speed and 4 USB 2.0 High Speed 2.0 Hosts, LVDS, HDMI and Parallel RGB interfaces, micro TF and SD card interfaces, analog headphone/microphone jacks, camera interface, serial ports, JTAG and boot configuration interfaces. This together with a low power consumption makes it fit for the design of IoT data hubs.

Reducing system cost, board size and complexity with low power, the BOM-optimized platform includes not only the Freescale i.MX 6Solo processor running at speeds up to 1GHz, but also the Freescale Kinetis K20 MCU, the Freescale MMPF0100Power management integrated chip, 1GByte of 32-bit wide DDR3 at 800MHz and a 4GB eMMC.
